Blake Griffin to produce animated comedy loosely based on his life

If you've ever thought to yourself, "I wish someone would make an updated version of 'The Beverly Hillbillies,' except it should be an animated show produced by NBA star Blake Griffin," your dream has come true.

The Clippers five-time All-Star forward will serve as the executive producer for a new animated comedy, "Okies of Bel Air." The story is loosely based on Griffin and his family, who hail from Oklahoma, and their move to Los Angeles.

Hollywood site Deadline.com describes the show as "In the vein of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' and 'The Beverly Hillbillies,' 'Okies of Bel Air' is the story of a family of humble Oklahoma catfish farmers who, after their basketball prodigy son is chosen first overall in the NBA draft, pack up and move to the tony enclave of Bel Air, where they’ll struggle to preserve their down-home sensibilities amidst a vast cultural wasteland where Kardashian reigns supreme and pressed juice is considered a viable alternative to childhood vaccinations.
